IOI is working with the Sustaining Hyku Steering Group, staff, and stakeholders, conducting research to help address Hyku’s critical and immediate decision-making and sustainability needs. The project will support the Hyku grant team in a research project that is ultimately aimed at developing a Financial Sustainability Plan and a Co-Investment Model for Hyku. IOI will help the Sustaining Hyku Steering Group to lay crucial groundwork towards these goals, including stakeholder maps, collaboration recommendations, a decision-making design process, an economic assessment, and an economic model design process, including strategies for fundraising and revenue generation.
